Home Improvement (1991–1999): Season 1, Episode 16 - Jill's Birthday - full transcript
Tim is stumped as to what to get Jill for her birthday.
Hey, this is great. What
are you guys doing?
Checking to see if
these ice skates fit Mark.
So, if he falls out,
they don't fit? Right.
Put him down. Put him down.
Randy, come on over here and
help me load up some firewood.
Your mom's really cold.
How come Mom's always cold?
Guys, I'm gonna tell you
something about women.
They're always cold.
It's our job as
hot-blooded men...
(grunts) to heat the women up.
If men are hot-blooded,
are women cold-blooded?
Out of the mouths of babes.
Hey, Dad, maybe we should
get Mom a heater for her birthday.
Birthday. Dad forgot
Mom's birthday.
Did not. Did, too.
Did not.
Are we gonna do something
special for her birthday Saturday?
Yeah. Saturday, yeah!
Oh... we'll have a big party.
We'll cater some food, her favorite
restaurant, balloons, everything.
Won't she be disappointed? Why?
Her birthday is Friday.
Oh, honey, this is the season,
Jack Frost nipping at my nose.
This is the season for
somebody's birthday.
You remembered. Of course I did.
Which one of the boys told you?
Come on. Honey, I'm insulted.
Really? Yeah.
You've been so busy at work,
I figured you'd for sure forget.
As a matter of fact,
I had to remind the boys it
wasn't Saturday, it was Friday.
It is Saturday.
Gotcha. What?
It's Friday. Oh.
Well, now that we have
the day established,
let's move on into
the gift category.
Oh, honey, you don't
have to get me anything.
Let's say I was gonna
get you something.
What would you
want me to get ya?
Well, if I have to
tell you what to get,
I might as well go
out and buy it myself.
Now you're talking.
You put that money
back in your pocket,
or I'll break both your legs.
Oh, Tim, come on. We've
been married 12 years,
and every year I put a
lot of thought into your gift.
I tune in to who you are,
and I get you something
you really want.
Hey, I do that, too. Oh, yeah?
This is how you tuned
in to me last year.
A pressurized window washer?
It shattered a window.
Every piece was clean,
though... all of them.
And what about this thing?
You never even used it.
Well, I didn't know what it
was. I was afraid it might eat me.
Honey, honey, it's a de-nubber.
It de... It de-nubs things.
Forget about this thing.
Tim!
A gift doesn't have to
be any kind of a big deal.
You know, you should
just close your eyes
and think of who I am.
A tape deck. Tim.
A waffle iron. (laughs)
Ukulele! Stop it!
I want you to get me
something thoughtful,
just something from your heart.
Arteries!
We have a special guest for
you on Tool Time. As you all know,
we're in the midst of our project
house up there in Keego Harbor Heights.
Next Friday we'll be there. I've got
the gentleman who owns the house,
Eugene Ingram. Let's give him a
big Tool Time grunting welcome.
(grunts)
Hi, Eugene. How ya
doin'? Oh, just call me Ink.
My friends all call me Ink.
Ink, you live up there in
Keego Harbor Heights...
That's right. We're-We're
a planned community.
Uh, 48 peas in a pod.
Right, and...
we're gonna make your
pod a little more distinctive
by pushing out the wall and
adding a huge living room
onto an existing porch for you.
Well, actually,
it's for my wife.
See, she wants a little
more space in the living room.
Did she tell you that, or
did you have to guess?
Oh, no. She tells
me what she wants.
Does she? We call her Pink.
Pink and Ink, see?
I've got a picture of Pink
standing right in front of the house.
Let's look at that house.
Actually, it's hard to see the house.
She's a lot of woman.
Yeah, a whole lot of woman.
We'll see you up there Friday, Ink,
it'll be good to get
started on your house...
Hey, Al! Here's something
you don't see every day.
Now-Now, this is Pink last
summer on the old Slip 'N Slide.
Boy, she went like a rocket.
Now, no one was hurt in this.
Those kids lying there
were just stunned.
Maybe we shouldn't have spent all
our allowance on these baseball cards.
Hey, we had to
get the Tiger infield.
Yeah, but now we're broke.
Where are we gonna
get money for Mom's gift?
Play along. Yeah.
Hey, Mark. You know,
you're a real smart kid.
You saved your money. Thanks.
Now you have enough to
pay your little brother tax.
My what?
The younger brother pays the
older brother a tax when he's seven.
I'm not paying you anything.
Fine. Have it your way,
but we just might hide some
strange animals in your bed.
Unless you pay the tax.
How much is it?
How much you got?
$4.77.
Sorry. It's $5.00.
Come on, Randy.
He's our little brother.
Give him a break.
OK. We'll help you
empty this thing out.
Thanks, guys. Don't
run in the house.
Honey, I said stop
running in the house.
Hi. Hi.
Got a list of things
for your birthday.
You haven't gotten
me a gift yet?
Yeah, sure I have. I just wanted
you to guess which one it is.
Why don't you surprise me?
At your age, a
surprise could kill you.
Well, let me give you a hint.
Never give a woman
anything she has to plug in.
Tim, I want you to be
completely honest with me.
Do I look, like,
a whole lot older than
when you met me?
A whole lot older? Just
answer the question.
Of course you don't
look a whole lot older.
Well, you have to
admit I'm not that same
skinny little peanut you
married. Yeah, I know.
You look better.
That's what I meant.
No, you look a
lot better. You do.
You don't think I'm too fat?
No, you look perfect.
Don't lie to me!
You wish that I looked
like that for my birthday.
That would be for my birthday.
Come on, honey! Come on.
Dad, did you get Mom another
dorky birthday gift this year?
Yeah, should I make
room for it in the closet?
Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Real funny. What'd you two
brainiacs get her that was so wonderful?
Well, Brad and I got her
this really neat perfume.
You sure you got enough of it?
Oh, Treasure Island perfume.
This came in a
gift set, didn't it?
Little parrot and
a peg leg for her?
(imitates pirate) Ar, matey, ar.
Look like a pirate, and
I smell like one, too.
I made her a crayon drawing,
and I used every
color in the box.
You know, that's good, see?
It's nice to make stuff for her.
You tuned right in to her, Mark.
I tuned in to her, too. I got
her a neat gift, too. What?
Well, do you know how she's
been exercising a lot, right?
Well, I got her a
lifetime membership
at that Galaxy Health Spa.
Can't wait to see the look on
her face when she opens that.
Shh, shh. Here she
comes. Sit down.
Good morning. Morning.
(all) Happy birthday!
What's the matter? I am never,
ever going to exercise again.
I was actually thinking
of joining a health club.
That'll be a cold day in...
Detroit.
Mom, open our gifts.
Yeah. Dad, you want to go first?
It's her birthday all day. Why
give her every gift at once?
You didn't get me anything, did
you? Yes, he did. He got you...
(all) ♪ Happy birthday to you,
♪ Happy birthday to you,
♪ Happy birthday, dear Mom,
♪ Happy birthday to you
Al, what am I gonna do?
I have to get Jill
a birthday present.
It's gotta come from
the heart, I can't plug it in,
and I can't rewire it. What
the heck does that leave?
Tim, concentrate. We're
going on the air live in a minute.
Now, where's the owner
of this place, Mr. Ingram?
I don't know. He's supposed
to meet us here, isn't he?
We'll go without him if he's
not here, I'll tell you that.
OK, here we go. In five... Think
about a gift for me, all right?
Three, two... Gift, gift.
Hi, everybody. I'm Tim Taylor.
Welcome to this special
edition of Tool Time
here at our project house in
beautiful Keego Harbor Heights.
Howdy, Al. Howdy, Tim.
Al, what are we doing
today? Well, Tim,
we'll be expanding
the Ingrams' living room
out here onto the porch.
But first we get to
dismantle the existing porch.
We'll be carting the
debris away in this...
The beautiful Tool Time truck,
Blood, Sweat,
and Gears. (grunts)
This is not your
standard Detroit issue.
We've made a few
engine modifications.
Of course, when you
say "we," you mean "you."
That's right, Al, because
if I left it up to you,
we'd be on a
skateboard and a moped.
(engine starts)
Ooh!
Hear that? That's
a Big Block Chevy,
454, two four-barrel carburetors
nestled on an
aluminum high-rise,
manifold headers,
and dual exhaust.
(grunts)
Let's back her into
position, Al. All right.
Uh, we'll be back live
right after these messages.
Tim, I'm going
back to the truck.
Come on, Al. I need a
second opinion. Come on.
Well, it's just, I
feel a little awkward.
I've never been in the
women's department before.
Hi, Al. Why did that
woman say "hi" to you?
Maybe I remind her of someone.
Remind her of someone named Al,
who looks like you, with
a hammer in his belt?
Hi, Al.
OK, I'm not gonna to lie to you.
Sometimes I come here
to try and meet women.
What? (woman) Hi, Al.
Oh, hi, Mrs. Chapman.
I wanted to mention
there's a sale tomorrow
in the full-figured
ladies' department.
Maybe you wouldn't be
interested in that type.
Well, no, my mother
was quite large.
Good luck.
You scare me, Al.
Well, what do you expect
me to do? Dating's tough.
I go where the women are...
Art galleries,
Laundromats, immigration.
Don't tell me this stuff, OK?
Let's get mov...
Immigration?
Oh...
Let's try to tune
in to my wife, Jill.
Just look around. Do you
think she'd like anything in here?
Well, if I were Jill,
well, I'd like any
of these things.
Al, please.
Now, what about these dresses?
But I'm a little bit confused.
Six, eight, ten, 12...
Does that mean 12 inches?
Well, that doesn't sound right.
Let's figure this...
I've got a 32 waist,
right? I wear a 32 pant.
Jill's smaller than me.
She's gotta be... 20.
Well, here. That would be this.
You look like a hang glider, Al.
Well, a more personal
gift would be lingerie.
Hey, hey, hey! Bingo!
Jill loves lingerie. Yeah?
How do you know if
it's her... or anybody?
Could you picture her in this?
Not now.
Excuse me, are
you looking for a gift?
I need some help.
What do wives like?
I'm not sure. I'm
not married myself.
(coughs)
Oh, I'm so sorry. Is the smell
of my perfume bothering you?
No, no. It's a lovely fragrance.
What is it called? Available.
Really?
We have a full line
of men's cologne.
Would you be
interested? Yes, I am.
Hey, Al, you're gonna help me.
You know, I haven't
seen you here before.
Al! This is a temp job.
Actually, I'm an actress.
Really? I'm on television.
I have my own show.
OK, boys, I'm going
out for some aspirin
and some Epsom salts.
When your daddy comes
home, tell him I'll be right back.
Mom, since you're going out,
why don't you wear some of our
Treasure Island perfume? Yeah.
Well, I was saving that
for a special occasion.
Well, there's plenty of it here.
You can wear it all the time.
Yeah... I could
do that, couldn't I?
(Brad) Well... go ahead.
OK, I will.
Whoa! That is so unique.
Ohh, it tingles...
and burns.
Well, you know,
that is always a sign
of a really good perfume.
Well, I'm glad you like
it. We almost didn't buy it.
Yeah. We were
gonna buy you flowers.
Oh. Well, God, guess I
really lucked out, you know,
'cause flowers die, and
this I'm gonna have...
forever.
Wilson. Wilson!
Hi-di-ho, neighbor.
Oh, Wilson, great.
You got to help me.
I'm in big, big trouble.
Oh, it's Jill's birthday, right?
Yeah, and she wants
me to get something
that's in tune with
her and from the heart,
and I don't know
what to do, Wilson.
Tim, I am reminded of a story.
Wilson, I don't
have time for this.
Well, neighbor, what is
time but "Tim" with an "e"?
Huh?
Anyway, there once
was this little boy in Africa
who wanted to give his teacher
a gift, but he had no money.
So, he walked two
days to the ocean,
and he picked up
a handful of sand,
and walked two days
back, and he gave it to her.
Well, she was greatly
moved by the gift,
but she said, "It was
so far for you to walk."
And he said, "Teacher,
the journey is
part of the gift."
Yeah, but Wilson, I've
been on the journey.
It's the destination. It's the
sand. I don't know what to get her.
Well, Tim, maybe
you're just trying too hard.
She's not being any help. She's
being so sensitive about this.
Well, sometimes birthdays
only remind us of how old we are.
Maybe...
Jill needs to be reminded
of all the simple joys
she had in getting there.
What kind of gift would do that?
Well, I don't know, Tim.
You'll have to listen to
that little voice inside you.
It'll tell you what to do.
What's it sound like?
It sounds like this.
Ohh... Shh.
(grunting)
What are you doing?
Dad wants to talk to you.
Mark and I were
talking in the garage.
Do you guys know anything
about a little brother tax?
No. No.
Maybe I should tell you
about the large angry father tax.
All right, all right.
We'll pay Mark back.
Darn right you'll pay him back. Next
two weeks, your allowance goes to Mark.
Come on, let's go.
I want you to go
upstairs and tell your mom
to come down here right away.
(shouting) Mom, Dad wants you!
I could have done that.
(clears throat)
What are you up to? I
finished your birthday gift.
Oh, you gave me... tools!
No. Open it up. All right.
(♪ Happy Birthday)
This is the gift. What?
Honey, too often in our
lives we look at birthdays
as just a signpost
of the years we lived,
instead of relishing the wonder
of the journey to get the sand.
What?
Shh, shh. Watch.
Oh, my gosh. Where
did you get that? Shh.
(♪ You Are So Beautiful)
Oh, that's the first time
I ever saw the ocean!
(laughs) And there I
am in my princess dress.
Oh, and that's my cat,
Samantha. I called her Sammy.
(laughs) And... Oh, who is that?
That's a man you'll meet
years later, and marry you,
and he loves you very,
very much. That is so...
What is that?
I had to record over
this gladiator movie.
There's that pause
button I slipped off.
Stick him, Demetrius. Get him!
Ohh...
Oh, honey, this is
the best gift I ever got.
I can't believe you did
this. I love you so much.
I love you, too.
Ohh!
Oh, oh, jeez.
(telephone rings)
It burns.
Hello? Hi, Ink.
Oh, you heard about it, huh?
That truck took
off like a rocket...
just like Pink on
the Slip 'N Slide.
We didn't stun any kids, though.
Al and I will be by
Monday. Uh-huh, early.
We'll finish up that living
room then. OK, thanks.
Huh?
(engine starts)
(Tim) Ooh!
Hear that? That's a
Big Block Chevy, 454,
two four-barrel carburetors
nestled on an aluminum
high-rise, manifold headers,
and dual exhaust. (grunts)
Let's back her
into position, Al.
All right.
are you guys doing?
Checking to see if
these ice skates fit Mark.
So, if he falls out,
they don't fit? Right.
Put him down. Put him down.
Randy, come on over here and
help me load up some firewood.
Your mom's really cold.
How come Mom's always cold?
Guys, I'm gonna tell you
something about women.
They're always cold.
It's our job as
hot-blooded men...
(grunts) to heat the women up.
If men are hot-blooded,
are women cold-blooded?
Out of the mouths of babes.
Hey, Dad, maybe we should
get Mom a heater for her birthday.
Birthday. Dad forgot
Mom's birthday.
Did not. Did, too.
Did not.
Are we gonna do something
special for her birthday Saturday?
Yeah. Saturday, yeah!
Oh... we'll have a big party.
We'll cater some food, her favorite
restaurant, balloons, everything.
Won't she be disappointed? Why?
Her birthday is Friday.
Oh, honey, this is the season,
Jack Frost nipping at my nose.
This is the season for
somebody's birthday.
You remembered. Of course I did.
Which one of the boys told you?
Come on. Honey, I'm insulted.
Really? Yeah.
You've been so busy at work,
I figured you'd for sure forget.
As a matter of fact,
I had to remind the boys it
wasn't Saturday, it was Friday.
It is Saturday.
Gotcha. What?
It's Friday. Oh.
Well, now that we have
the day established,
let's move on into
the gift category.
Oh, honey, you don't
have to get me anything.
Let's say I was gonna
get you something.
What would you
want me to get ya?
Well, if I have to
tell you what to get,
I might as well go
out and buy it myself.
Now you're talking.
You put that money
back in your pocket,
or I'll break both your legs.
Oh, Tim, come on. We've
been married 12 years,
and every year I put a
lot of thought into your gift.
I tune in to who you are,
and I get you something
you really want.
Hey, I do that, too. Oh, yeah?
This is how you tuned
in to me last year.
A pressurized window washer?
It shattered a window.
Every piece was clean,
though... all of them.
And what about this thing?
You never even used it.
Well, I didn't know what it
was. I was afraid it might eat me.
Honey, honey, it's a de-nubber.
It de... It de-nubs things.
Forget about this thing.
Tim!
A gift doesn't have to
be any kind of a big deal.
You know, you should
just close your eyes
and think of who I am.
A tape deck. Tim.
A waffle iron. (laughs)
Ukulele! Stop it!
I want you to get me
something thoughtful,
just something from your heart.
Arteries!
We have a special guest for
you on Tool Time. As you all know,
we're in the midst of our project
house up there in Keego Harbor Heights.
Next Friday we'll be there. I've got
the gentleman who owns the house,
Eugene Ingram. Let's give him a
big Tool Time grunting welcome.
(grunts)
Hi, Eugene. How ya
doin'? Oh, just call me Ink.
My friends all call me Ink.
Ink, you live up there in
Keego Harbor Heights...
That's right. We're-We're
a planned community.
Uh, 48 peas in a pod.
Right, and...
we're gonna make your
pod a little more distinctive
by pushing out the wall and
adding a huge living room
onto an existing porch for you.
Well, actually,
it's for my wife.
See, she wants a little
more space in the living room.
Did she tell you that, or
did you have to guess?
Oh, no. She tells
me what she wants.
Does she? We call her Pink.
Pink and Ink, see?
I've got a picture of Pink
standing right in front of the house.
Let's look at that house.
Actually, it's hard to see the house.
She's a lot of woman.
Yeah, a whole lot of woman.
We'll see you up there Friday, Ink,
it'll be good to get
started on your house...
Hey, Al! Here's something
you don't see every day.
Now-Now, this is Pink last
summer on the old Slip 'N Slide.
Boy, she went like a rocket.
Now, no one was hurt in this.
Those kids lying there
were just stunned.
Maybe we shouldn't have spent all
our allowance on these baseball cards.
Hey, we had to
get the Tiger infield.
Yeah, but now we're broke.
Where are we gonna
get money for Mom's gift?
Play along. Yeah.
Hey, Mark. You know,
you're a real smart kid.
You saved your money. Thanks.
Now you have enough to
pay your little brother tax.
My what?
The younger brother pays the
older brother a tax when he's seven.
I'm not paying you anything.
Fine. Have it your way,
but we just might hide some
strange animals in your bed.
Unless you pay the tax.
How much is it?
How much you got?
$4.77.
Sorry. It's $5.00.
Come on, Randy.
He's our little brother.
Give him a break.
OK. We'll help you
empty this thing out.
Thanks, guys. Don't
run in the house.
Honey, I said stop
running in the house.
Hi. Hi.
Got a list of things
for your birthday.
You haven't gotten
me a gift yet?
Yeah, sure I have. I just wanted
you to guess which one it is.
Why don't you surprise me?
At your age, a
surprise could kill you.
Well, let me give you a hint.
Never give a woman
anything she has to plug in.
Tim, I want you to be
completely honest with me.
Do I look, like,

A whole lot older? Just

Of course you don't

No, you look a

No, you look perfect.

You wish that I looked

Well, do you know how she's

Well, I got her a
lifetime membership
at that Galaxy Health Spa.
Can't wait to see the look on
her face when she opens that.
Shh, shh. Here she
comes. Sit down.
Good morning. Morning.
(all) Happy birthday!
What's the matter? I am never,
ever going to exercise again.
I was actually thinking
of joining a health club.
That'll be a cold day in...
Detroit.
Mom, open our gifts.
Yeah. Dad, you want to go first?
It's her birthday all day. Why
give her every gift at once?
You didn't get me anything, did
you? Yes, he did. He got you...
(all) ♪ Happy birthday to you,

to try and meet women.
What? (woman) Hi, Al.
Oh, hi, Mrs. Chapman.
I wanted to mention
there's a sale tomorrow
in the full-figured
ladies' department.
Maybe you wouldn't be
interested in that type.
Well, no, my mother
was quite large.
Good luck.
You scare me, Al.
Well, what do you expect
me to do? Dating's tough.
I go where the women are...
Art galleries,
Laundromats, immigration.
Don't tell me this stuff, OK?
Let's get mov...
Immigration?
Oh...
Let's try to tune
in to my wife, Jill.
Just look around. Do you
think she'd like anything in here?
Well, if I were Jill,
well, I'd like any
of these things.
Al, please.
Now, what about these dresses?
But I'm a little bit confused.
Six, eight, ten, 12...
Does that mean 12 inches?
Well, that doesn't sound right.
Let's figure this...
I've got a 32 waist,
right? I wear a 32 pant.
Jill's smaller than me.
She's gotta be... 20.
Well, here. That would be this.
You look like a hang glider, Al.
Well, a more personal
gift would be lingerie.
Hey, hey, hey! Bingo!
Jill loves lingerie. Yeah?
How do you know if
it's her... or anybody?
Could you picture her in this?
Not now.
Excuse me, are
you looking for a gift?
I need some help.
What do wives like?
I'm not sure. I'm
not married myself.
(coughs)
Oh, I'm so sorry. Is the smell
of my perfume bothering you?
No, no. It's a lovely fragrance.
What is it called? Available.
Really?
We have a full line
of men's cologne.
Would you be
interested? Yes, I am.
Hey, Al, you're gonna help me.
You know, I haven't
seen you here before.
Al! This is a temp job.
Actually, I'm an actress.
Really? I'm on television.
I have my own show.
OK, boys, I'm going
out for some aspirin
and some Epsom salts.
When your daddy comes
home, tell him I'll be right back.
Mom, since you're going out,
why don't you wear some of our
Treasure Island perfume? Yeah.
Well, I was saving that
for a special occasion.
Well, there's plenty of it here.
You can wear it all the time.
Yeah... I could
do that, couldn't I?
(Brad) Well... go ahead.
OK, I will.
Whoa! That is so unique.
Ohh, it tingles...
and burns.
Well, you know,
that is always a sign
of a really good perfume.
Well, I'm glad you like
it. We almost didn't buy it.
Yeah. We were
gonna buy you flowers.
Oh. Well, God, guess I
really lucked out, you know,
'cause flowers die, and
this I'm gonna have...
forever.
Wilson. Wilson!
Hi-di-ho, neighbor.
Oh, Wilson, great.
You got to help me.
I'm in big, big trouble.
Oh, it's Jill's birthday, right?
Yeah, and she wants
me to get something
that's in tune with
her and from the heart,
and I don't know
what to do, Wilson.
Tim, I am reminded of a story.
Wilson, I don't
have time for this.
Well, neighbor, what is
time but "Tim" with an "e"?
Huh?
Anyway, there once
was this little boy in Africa
who wanted to give his teacher
a gift, but he had no money.
So, he walked two
days to the ocean,
and he picked up
a handful of sand,
and walked two days
back, and he gave it to her.
Well, she was greatly
moved by the gift,
but she said, "It was
so far for you to walk."
And he said, "Teacher,
the journey is
part of the gift."
Yeah, but Wilson, I've
been on the journey.
It's the destination. It's the
sand. I don't know what to get her.
Well, Tim, maybe
you're just trying too hard.
She's not being any help. She's
being so sensitive about this.
Well, sometimes birthdays
only remind us of how old we are.
Maybe...
Jill needs to be reminded
of all the simple joys
she had in getting there.
What kind of gift would do that?
Well, I don't know, Tim.
You'll have to listen to
that little voice inside you.
It'll tell you what to do.
What's it sound like?
It sounds like this.
Ohh... Shh.
(grunting)
What are you doing?
Dad wants to talk to you.
Mark and I were
talking in the garage.
Do you guys know anything
about a little brother tax?
No. No.
Maybe I should tell you
about the large angry father tax.
All right, all right.
We'll pay Mark back.
Darn right you'll pay him back. Next
two weeks, your allowance goes to Mark.
Come on, let's go.
I want you to go
upstairs and tell your mom
to come down here right away.
(shouting) Mom, Dad wants you!
I could have done that.
(clears throat)
What are you up to? I
finished your birthday gift.
Oh, you gave me... tools!
No. Open it up. All right.
(♪ Happy Birthday)
This is the gift. What?
Honey, too often in our
lives we look at birthdays
as just a signpost
of the years we lived,
instead of relishing the wonder
of the journey to get the sand.
What?
Shh, shh. Watch.
Oh, my gosh. Where
did you get that? Shh.
(♪ You Are So Beautiful)
Oh, that's the first time
I ever saw the ocean!
(laughs) And there I
am in my princess dress.
Oh, and that's my cat,
Samantha. I called her Sammy.
(laughs) And... Oh, who is that?
That's a man you'll meet
years later, and marry you,
and he loves you very,
very much. That is so...
What is that?
I had to record over
this gladiator movie.
There's that pause
button I slipped off.
Stick him, Demetrius. Get him!
Ohh...
Oh, honey, this is
the best gift I ever got.
I can't believe you did
this. I love you so much.
I love you, too.
Ohh!
Oh, oh, jeez.
(telephone rings)
It burns.
Hello? Hi, Ink.
Oh, you heard about it, huh?
That truck took
off like a rocket...
just like Pink on
the Slip 'N Slide.
We didn't stun any kids, though.
Al and I will be by
Monday. Uh-huh, early.
We'll finish up that living
room then. OK, thanks.
Huh?
(engine starts)
(Tim) Ooh!
Hear that? That's a
Big Block Chevy, 454,
two four-barrel carburetors
nestled on an aluminum
high-rise, manifold headers,
and dual exhaust. (grunts)
Let's back her
into position, Al.
All right.
